Ye (Kanye West) - Through The Wire

[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
E7 C F Bm7 E7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Em C F Bm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
E7 F G
Right down to the wire, even through the fire

[Verse 1]
Am7 Dm7
I drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
Am7 Dm7
Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp
Am7 Dm7
That right there could drive a sane man berserk
Am7 Dm7
Not to worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo’s back to wizzerk
Am7 Dm7
How do you console my mom or give her light support
Am7 Dm7
Tellin’ her her son’s on life support?
Am7 Dm7
And just imagine how my girl feel
Am7 Dm7
On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett Till
Am7 Dm7
She was with me before the deal, she’d been tryna be mine
Am7 Dm7
She a Delta, so she’d been throwin’ that Dynasty sign
Am7 Dm7
No use in me tryna be lyin’, I been tryna be signed
Am7 Dm7
Tryin’ to be a millionaire, how I used two lifelines
Am7 Dm7
In the same hospital where Biggie Smalls died
Am7 Dm7
The doctor said I had blood clots, but I ain’t Jamaican, man
Am7 Dm7
Story on MTV and I ain’t tryna make a band
G
I swear, this right here, history in the makin’, man

[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
E7 C F Bm7 E7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Em C F Bm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
E7 F G
Right down to the wire, even through the fire

[Verse 2]
Am7 Dm7
What if somebody from the Chi’ that was ill got a deal
Am7 Dm7
On the hottest rap label around?
Am7
But he wasn’t talkin’ ‘bout coke and birds
Dm7 Am7 Dm7
It was more like spoken word, ‘cept he’s really puttin’ it down?
Am7 Dm7
And he explained the story ‘bout how Blacks came from glory
Am7 Dm7
And what we need to do in the game
Am7 Dm7
Good dude, bad night, right place, wrong time
Am7 Dm7
In the blink of a eye, his whole life changed
Am7
If you could feel how my face felt
Dm7
You would know how Mase felt (Mason Betha!)
Am7 Dm7
Thank God I ain’t too cool for the safe belt
Am7 Dm7
I swear to God, driver two wanna sue
Am7 Dm7
I got a lawyer for the case, to keep what’s in my safe safe
Am7
My dawgs couldn’t tell if I…
Dm7 Am7 Dm7
I looked like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, it was televised
Am7 Dm7
There’s been an accident like GEICO
Am7 Dm7
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
Am7 Dm7
I must got a angel, ‘cause look how death missed his ass
Am7 Dm7
Unbreakable, what, you thought they’d call me Mr. Glass?
Am7 Dm7
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Am7 Dm7
Toys “R” Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
Am7 Dm7
And I still won’t grow up, I’m a grown-ass kid
Am7 Dm7
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
Am7 Dm7
But I’m a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
G
Make music that’s fire, spit my soul through the wire

[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
E7 C F Bm7 E7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Am7 Dm7 G
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Em C F Bm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
E7 F G F
Right down to the wire, even through the fire

[Outro]
Am7 Dm7
